Deuteronomy
5
1
Then Moses called all the people of Israel together and said to them: "Listen, Israel, to the statutes and ordinances that I am about to deliver to you today; learn them and be careful to keep them!
2
The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
3
He did not make this covenant with our ancestors but with us, we who are here today, all of us living now.
4
The LORD spoke face to face with you at the mountain, from the middle of the fire.
5
(I was standing between the LORD and you at that time to reveal to you the message of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain.) He said:
6
"I am the LORD your God, he who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the place of slavery.
7
You must not have any other gods besides me.
8
You must not make for yourself an image of anything in heaven above, on earth below, or in the waters beneath.
9
You must not worship or serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God. I punish the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons for the sin of the fathers who reject me,
10
but I show covenant faithfulness to the thousands who choose me and keep my commandments.
11
You must not make use of the name of the LORD your God for worthless purposes, for the LORD will not exonerate anyone who abuses his name that way.
12
Be careful to observe the Sabbath day just as the LORD your God has commanded you.
13
You are to work and do all your tasks in six days,
14
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.
15
Recall that you were slaves in the land of Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there by strength and power. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
16
Honor your father and your mother just as the LORD your God has commanded you to do, so that your days may be extended and that it may go well with you in the land that he is about to give you.
17
You must not murder.
18
You must not commit adultery.
19
You must not steal.
20
You must not offer false testimony against another.
21
You must not desire another man's wife, nor should you crave his house, his field, his male and female servants, his ox, his donkey, or anything else he owns."
